When Maya flees her high-stress city life for her late aunt’s coastal cottage, she expects a quiet "rebrand" involving yoga and kale. She does not expect her gourmet turkey club sandwich to be launched into the lap of a local marine biologist by a runaway Golden Retriever.
Elias is a man who speaks fluent "crustacean," carries the scent of salt air, and has a habit of finding beauty in the ocean’s chaotic messes. What begins as a comedy of errors over fish tacos and a very confused city cat named Sir Pounce evolves into a deep, rhythmic connection. As the golden summer fades into a rugged, salt-sprayed winter, Maya must decide if her new life is just a seasonal fling or if she has finally found a place where the tide never goes out.
It is a story about finding the courage to be unrefined, the humor in catching a rubber boot instead of a fish, and the romantic gravity of a man who looks at the stars but loves the mud.
